Lincoln Park Zoo - Chicago, IL Review

The zoo is a great treat when visiting the city. It's free and on the bus route so it is easy to get to from almost any location in the city or north side of Chicago.

There is a farm, which is fun. I love to see the peguins. Also the tigers are just great.

In the fall and winter months, the zoo rents out a lot of the animals and the exhibits are left empty. So you may have walked to the back of the zoo to find out the giraffes are not there.

It's a good idea to print an online map before you arrive as they are hard to find once you arrive at the zoo. The gift shop is rather expensive, but most are at these type of tourist locations.

Pack a lunch and walk over to the grass by your car and have an instant picnic while you watch the joggers, bikers, and dog walkers go by. It will be a great day at the zoo.
